Even if we don't have extended SCA support, we can have more than 64 CPUs
if we don't enable any HW features that might use the SCA entries.
Now, this works just fine, but we missed a return, which is why we
would actually store the SCA entries. If we have more than 64 CPUs, this
means writing outside of the basic SCA - bad.
Let's fix this. This allows > 64 CPUs when running nested (under vSIE)
without random crashes.

when a system call is interrupted we might call the critical section
cleanup handler that re-does some of the operations. When we are between
.Lsysc_vtime and .Lsysc_do_svc we might also redo the saving of the
problem state registers r0-r7:
.Lcleanup_system_call:
[...]
0: # update accounting time stamp
mvc __LC_LAST_UPDATE_TIMER(8),__LC_SYNC_ENTER_TIMER
# set up saved register r11
lg %r15,__LC_KERNEL_STACK
la %r9,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(%r15)
stg %r9,24(%r11) # r11 pt_regs pointer
# fill pt_regs
mvc __PT_R8(64,%r9),__LC_SAVE_AREA_SYNC
---> stmg %r0,%r7,__PT_R0(%r9)
The problem is now, that we might have already zeroed out r0.
The fix is to move the zeroing of r0 after sysc_do_svc.

The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the
standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical
section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the
BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with
the limited branch prediction.

Right now, SET CLOCK called in the guest does not properly take care of
the epoch index, as the call goes via the old kvm_s390_set_tod_clock()
interface. So the epoch index is neither reset to 0, if required, nor
properly set to e.g. 0xff on negative values.
Fix this by providing a single kvm_s390_set_tod_clock() function. Move
Multiple-epoch facility handling into it.

For now, we don't take care of over/underflows. Especially underflows
are critical:
Assume the epoch is currently 0 and we get a sync request for delta=1,
meaning the TOD is moved forward by 1 and we have to fix it up by
subtracting 1 from the epoch. Right now, this will leave the epoch
index untouched, resulting in epoch=-1, epoch_idx=0, which is wrong.
We have to take care of over and underflows, also for the VSIE case. So
let's factor out calculation into a separate function.

For interrupt injection of floating interrupts we queue the interrupt
either in the GISA or in the floating interrupt list. The first CPU
that looks at these data structures - either in KVM code or hardware
will then deliver that interrupt. To minimize latency we also:
-a: choose a VCPU to deliver that interrupt. We prefer idle CPUs
-b: we wake up the host thread that runs the VCPU
-c: set an I/O intervention bit for that CPU so that it exits guest
context as soon as the PSW I/O mask is enabled
This will make sure that this CPU will execute the interrupt delivery
code of KVM very soon.
We can now optimize the injection case if we have exitless interrupts.
The wakeup is still necessary in case the target CPU sleeps. We can
avoid the I/O intervention request bit though. Whenever this
intervention request would be handled, the hardware could also directly
inject the interrupt on that CPU, no need to go through the interrupt
injection loop of KVM.

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
"The main thing in this merge is the defense for the Spectre
vulnerabilities. But there are other updates as well, the changes in
more detail:
- An s390 specific implementation of the array_index_mask_nospec
function to the defense against spectre v1
- Two patches to utilize the new PPA-12/PPA-13 instructions to run
the kernel and/or user space with reduced branch predicton.
- The s390 variant of the 'retpoline' spectre v2 defense called
'expoline'. There is no return instruction for s390, instead an
indirect branch is used for function return
The s390 defense mechanism for indirect branches works by using an
execute-type instruction with the indirect branch as the target of
the execute. In effect that turns off the prediction for the
indirect branch.
- Scrub registers in entry.S that contain user controlled values to
prevent the speculative use of these values.
- Re-add the second parameter for the s390 specific runtime
instrumentation system call and move the header file to uapi. The
second parameter will continue to do nothing but older kernel
versions only accepted valid real-time signal numbers. The details
will be documented in the man-page for the system call.
- Corrections and improvements for the s390 specific documentation
- Add a line to /proc/sysinfo to display the CPU model dependent
license-internal-code identifier
- A header file include fix for eadm.

The ARCH_WANTS_PROT_NUMA_PROT_NONE symbol was removed by
commit 6a33979d5bd7 ("mm: remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE"),
but S390 still selects it.
Remove the ARCH_WANTS_PROT_NUMA_PROT_NONE select from the S390 symbol.

Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.
With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call
basr %r14,%r1
is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk
brasl %r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1
The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch
__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
exrl 0,0f
j .
0: br %r1
The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Ross Zwisler:
- Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number
of surprising failure cases. This includes failures with direct I/O,
gdb and fork(2).
- Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the
NFIT in ACPI 6.2a. This new table tells us whether the platform
supports flushing of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected
power loss events.
- Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and
better support future future PCI P2P uses.
- Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has
become out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL
spec, and instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by
the two other IOCTL families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.
- Enhance nfit_test so we can test some of the new things added in
version 1.6 of the DSM specification. This includes testing firmware
download and simulating the Last Shutdown State (LSS) status.

Define TIF_ISOLATE_BP and TIF_ISOLATE_BP_GUEST and add the necessary
plumbing in entry.S to be able to run user space and KVM guests with
limited branch prediction.
To switch a user space process to limited branch prediction the
s390_isolate_bp() function has to be call, and to run a vCPU of a KVM
guest associated with the current task with limited branch prediction
call s390_isolate_bp_guest().

Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

The man page for the s390_runtime_instr() system call refers to a
header file that was never exported. Therefore it's time to finally
provide the header file, and move large parts of the runtime

Commit 2a842acab109 ("block: introduce new block status code type")
added blk_status_t usage to the eadm subchannel driver. However
blk_status_t is unknown when included via <linux/blkdev.h> for CONFIG_BLOCK=n.
Only include <linux/blk_types.h> since this is the only dependency eadm has.
This fixes build failures like below:
In file included from drivers/s390/cio/eadm_sch.c:24:0:
./arch/s390/include/asm/eadm.h:111:4: error: unknown type name 'blk_status_t'; did you mean 'si_status'?

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux
Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.
This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
API will allow drivers to express that requirement.
Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
couple minor non-critical fixes.
Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.
Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
hardware.
Summary:
Core:
- Clk rate protection
- Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
- Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates
New Drivers:
- Spreadtrum SC9860
- HiSilicon hi3660 stub
- Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
- Amlogic Meson-AXG
- ASPEED BMC
Removed Drivers:
- TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
- asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)
Updates:
- Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
- Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
- Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
- Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
- Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
- Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
- Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
- Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
- Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
- Mediatek clk driver compile test support
- AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
- PLL issues fixed on si5351
- Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
- DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
- Allwinner fixed post-divider support
- TI clkctrl fixes and support for newer SoCs"
